Eintracht Frankfurt eyes Ajax's Anton Gaaei amid right‑back vacancy

Ajax’s 23‑year‑old Danish right‑back Anton Gaaei has attracted concrete interest from German side Eintracht Frankfurt, who are searching for a replacement after Rasmus Kristensen’s summer move to FC Midtjylland. The Bundesliga club is reportedly the only one named in the latest reports. Ajax remains willing to negotiate, hoping a sale will fund further squad reinforcement.

Eintracht Frankfurt, a German sub‑top club, have identified a vacancy at right‑back after former Ajax player Rasmus Kristensen departed for FC Midtjylland this summer. Anton Gaaei is listed among the candidates to fill the gap.

The Danish defender joined Ajax in the summer of 2023 from Viborg for a reported €4.5 million. After a challenging start in Amsterdam, he fought back to become a regular starter over the subsequent seasons.

Gaaei was absent from Ajax’s first friendly against Panathinaikos, a match that ended 1‑3, citing light physical complaints. The club confirmed his minor injury prevented participation.

Ajax’s willingness to entertain a transfer reflects the club’s strategy to generate revenue for further strengthening. Should Eintracht Frankfurt formalise their interest, a deal could materialise before the summer window closes, adding depth to Frankfurt’s defence. The juxtaposition of Ajax’s revenue‑driven approach and Frankfurt’s squad‑building agenda highlights a transfer that could benefit both parties. Further negotiations are expected to unfold in the coming weeks.
